There were countless comnts like these.
Even though only people in the small circle knew, just opening the post made Sophie Scott feel like the whole world was mocking her.
The pride, self-esteem, and glory she once had were all trampled under these words, making it impossible for her to raise her head again.
Why are these people so vicious?
She cried all night last night, not daring to let her family see. At dawn, she ran out.
Fortunately, Ethan Scott called her, detected the sob in her voice, and quickly asked for her address to co over.
With a cold look in his eyes, Ethan Scott frowned and asked, "Did she bully you?"
Stirring her ice cream with a spoon, Sophie Scott lowered her head, pursed her lips, and softly said, "I don’t know why, but Dad is particularly biased towards her."
It’s true. ntioning it caused so grievance, a sting in her eyes, and they instantly welled up with tears.
Ethan Scott frowned gently.
He had heard about the daughter Ernesto Scott brought ho.
It’s said that when Aaron Scott found out about it, he even had a fight with Ernesto Scott.
But ever since Ernesto Scott left the Scott family to work independently, no one could control him. He acted as if he didn’t care about being scolded and insisted on keeping this daughter, almost making Aaron Scott furious to the point of illness.
"She’s domineering at ho, treating Mom and like we’re invisible, often speaking harshly and acting high-handed in front of the servants. She’s relying on Dad’s favor..."
Sophie Scott’s eyes were red, her eyelids trembling slightly with tears dropping uncontrollably.
Ethan Scott saw this and handed her a tissue, saying, "She’s an illegitimate daughter with no rightful status. You’re the legitimate Miss Scott; why bother competing with her?"
"But..."
Sophie Scott looked up, her tear-filled eyes blurry, biting her lip tightly without speaking.
Last night’s event at the Virtue Retreat was too shaful; she couldn’t tell Ethan Scott about it.
Just thinking about how Nora Scott received unique treatnt at the Virtue Retreat, Sophie Scott couldn’t stop the anger and jealousy from surging, the negative emotions raging in her chest, stimulating every nerve...
The sting in her palm shocked her. It was her nails piercing her skin.
"Don’t worry, she can’t just rely on your dad to fit into this circle; she has to have her own abilities." Ethan Scott said slowly, squinting slightly.
Sophie Scott dried her tears and looked over in confusion.
Ethan Scott asked, "Aunt said you both draw comics, and also, your grades are excellent?"
Speaking of comics, Sophie’s heart tightened, but she nodded after a quick thought, "...Yes."
In terms of comic achievents, her "First Ruins" was considered a phenonal work. Even if Nora had a team, they couldn’t compare to her.
"You’re the rightful eldest daughter, talented in both academics and art, attending Capital Uni while drawing comics; an illegitimate daughter suddenly appearing with a high school diploma, a third-rate celebrity calling herself a cartoonist, without even presenting any work."
At this, Ethan Scott smiled, raising his eyelids slightly, "Putting the two together, who do you think is the joke?"
After a slight daze, Sophie realized, "Second brother, you an..."
"In a couple of days, I’ll visit your ho." Ethan Scott said aningfully.
A re illegitimate daughter kept secretly outside, thinking she could throw her weight around once she entered the Scott family, without gauging her own worth.
"Okay."
Sophie obediently nodded, her tightly clenched fists slightly relaxing.

Cloudwater Haven.
Marcus Shaw, who had just entered the living room to get so water, heard a commotion at the entrance as he filled a glass.
Turning his head slightly, he saw Nora Scott’s figure.
He took a sip of water, paused for a mont, and hesitated slightly before deciding whether to greet her, feeling two gazes sweep over him.
The two exchanged a glance.
Seeing Marcus Shaw, Nora Scott also paused, furrowing her brows, "Do you stay ho every day and not go out?"
"..."
Marcus Shaw was inexplicably choked by her words.
What’s wrong with not going out?
Throwing his coat onto the sofa, as Nora Scott turned to walk to the bedroom, she glanced at Marcus Shaw and added, "Young people should get out more and not act like an old man."
"..."
Marcus Shaw simply stopped talking and silently drank the water in his cup.
He went out once and got scolded.
"By the way—"
After drinking the water, Marcus Shaw suppressed his temper and called out to Nora Scott.
Nora Scott opened the bedroom door, looked back at him with impatience in her eyes.
Marcus Shaw felt a chill in his heart from her gaze, as if he were facing imminent death. After a pause, he said, "Just now, Jack Carter ssaged saying they won’t be staying at Cloudwater Haven these days."
The implication: the free als are gone.
"What does that have to do with ?"
Throwing down a sentence steeped in anger, Nora Scott slamd the door.
Marcus Shaw: "..."
It seems this couple might be on the verge of breaking up.
